Start of a tradition
I've thought of a way to get myself writing here... whenever I add a new zsig, I'll explain it first. Perhaps someday I'll even go back through my file and see which ones I even remember the context for.
Today's addition:
Le Chapeau d'Amour is a fraud!
A classic "Bob the Angry Flower" cartoon, "The Hat of Love", gives context. I'm not even sure why I found this strip so entertaining... the feeling of gimmicks being tempting but unfulfilling certainly rings true, but I can't particularly think of a personal experience to match it. Perhaps it's a fear that I've fallen to the temptation in the past without even realizing it? I've had relationships start when in positions of --- if not power then at least authority --- but at least consciously it never felt like that was particularly relevant.
I'll think about this more, perhaps I'll be inspired to do a follow-up.
[later note: interesting, the Web page won't seem to update the "current mood" meter... the smileys bug me, so I'm trying to fill it in myself from now on. The inexplicable intent for this entry is "nonspecifically frustrated".]
